Eric, somewhere here or on SMB forum I saw a van with a Webasto panoramic roof. Might have been an older model than the ones you see at the link, but it was super nice. Came with a retractable blackout shade and retractable screen and was easily big enough to crawl through.

did you say what engine is in this? 7.3?

That looks pretty dope. Nice job!

FWIW, Cornelius converted his E150 to 4x4…but he works at Ujoint. Build thread here. He also sold it and then got a V10 E350. That thread here. Keep in mind that regardless of anything else you do, the three frames are different, with the E350 being the beefiest.

So the Kilmat is the vibration deafening mat? That’s butyl, right? Then the Siless 2 in 1 CCF and MLV?

What year axles do you have? Is the rear a semi or full float? I assume the front is a solid axle? Are you planning a front leaf, coil or coilover conversion? If leaf, look to Ujoint for inspiration and ideas. If coil, you might check out Pucry’s build over on the SMB forum. He did his own...

Where would we have to come to pick it up, Ozarker?

Tell us more about this hollow wax… Haven’t heard of it, but it sounds like a really good approach. Can you spray glue insulation to it?

Well, your attention to detail definitely shows. I’m an unabashed fan of your work.

Wow, that’s a lot, the equivalent of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5 months straight. And you’re a professional. I don’t know if it’s inspiring or disheartening. I should probably just schedule infinity for my build...

Have you been working on this full-time? Do you know how many hours you have into it so far?

😂😂😂 OMFG so true! And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. That wiring is going to be gorgeous. I love how cleanly and neatly you do things.

One of the best things about GM vans to me is that you can find them with the 6.6 Duramax. More power and torque than a 7.3 Ford and MUCH quieter. Better fuel economy than any full-size gasoline van too. The biggest downside is that the side walls taper quite a bit above the belt line, so they...

Exactly my point.

A fixed hightop solves both of those problems...

Come to California…we can double that for you!

What brand is your current body? I’m 6’1” so the 74” roof would be perfect.

It must feel good finally getting to put it to use. Have a great trip!
